About PNP Care Home

PNP Care Home is a residential care home in Blackpool. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people living with sight or hearing loss, and we offer respite stays. We want this to feel like a house people live in rather than somewhere they have been sent. Visitors come at the times that suit them. There is usually something going on that nobody is obliged to join. Staff sit down and talk properly rather than passing through on the way to the next task. People here decide when they get up, what they wear, what they eat and whether they want company or their own space. Dementia care rests on patience and a recognisable day. We avoid springing things on people, we keep routines familiar, and when somebody is distressed we look for the cause rather than trying to smooth it over. Relatives very often know exactly what helps, and we would rather be told at the start than work it out across six months. Where sight or hearing loss is part of the picture, the difference is made by habits. Saying who you are as you come into the room. Leaving furniture where it belongs. Making sure glasses and hearing aids are clean and actually working. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection, and we keep asking residents and relatives where we still fall short.
